If you make a state final in any class and in any weight in the state Pennsylvania, that's a monumental accomplishment.

Grossman made the 113-pound PIAA-AAA finale last March.

While the outcome wasn't what he was hoping for - he fell to Council Rock South's Billy Rappo 12-0 in the gold-medal match - Grossman had a fabulous ride.

This season, wrestling 'up' at 132 pounds, Grossman earned the No. 1 seed in the L-L League championships, which got started Friday night at Conestoga Valley.

Grossman upped his record to 25-6 this season with a pair of victories:

He earned a a 17-2 tech fall win over McCaskey's Phillip Urena, and he pinned Columbia's Alec Hooper in 3:09 to advance to Saturday's semifinals, where he'll take on Cedar Crest's Barry Breidegan.

And, Grossman helped the Streaks take the overall team lead after the first day of competition.
